The city

What to expect from George.

George is the largest town on the Garden Route and the gateway to the route, with George Airport (GRJ). Founded in 1811 and named after King George III, it lies at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains, about 10 km from the sea. It has the Outeniqua Transport Museum, with steam locomotives, and the exit to the Montagu Pass, an 1847 mountain road. Victoria Bay and Wilderness are less than 20 minutes away.
